Saiyami Kher, roses and crystal mesh on Day 4 of India Couture Week

Highlights you can’t miss

Varun Bahl’s couture collection was titled ‘The Vintage Garden’, true to the name, Bahl recreated an actual garden in the show area. The scent of roses made way for more blooms on the clothes that were seen. The designer experimented with digital printed projections of flowers that were further embroidered with motifs of roses and peonies. Bahl stuck to his colour palette of whites offset with pinks and vermillion hues. Pearls and fringes were distinct embellishments that ran with the vintage theme.

Gupta’s forte is cocktail dressing and he has perfected the art of western silhouettes, high octane embellishments and flattering cuts—all the elements that define glamour for the evening.

The collection, titled ‘Scape Song’ brought in elements of water bodies, sands—free forms in nature that structurally inspired the designer. Gupta experimented with the crystal mesh fabric by Swarovski, which was used in the making of his pièce de résistance worn by debutante actress Saiyami Kher.
